Meet your Owner & Director

Felicity is the Owner and Director of Sanctified Movement. Felicity has been dancing since age eight. She stepped away from the dance world after pressures of perfectionism and sturggles with body dysmorphia. In college she married her best friend, Joshua Patterson, in the love and safety of their marriage, she felt the Lord calling her back to dance. She joined an intensive called Enoch and began teaching at a Christian dance studio.

Today, Felicity remains passionate aboout teaching at her local dance studio while launching Sanctified Movement which was formed from her observation that while hardships of the secular dance world were less intense in Christian studios, they were still present. She felt led to help dance studios be set apart from cultural dance norms and create spaces where worship comes before technique.

Felicity is currently working towards becoming a certified biblical nutrionist, integrating faith, wellness, dietetics, and movement into her practice. Her question for students is: “who are you dancing for”? Her belief is simple: “practice doesn’t make perfect, it makes progress”
